Taking Birth while TTC! :)

carpenterswife wrote:

Hello Everyone, About two weeks ago I posted about going to my first doctors appt. regarding my lack of a period since May. After a check up (pap smear, exc) found nothing, my doctor sent everything to the lab to be double checked but instead spoke to me about how to get my body acting normally. She said the good news is both myself and my husband can get pregnant (husband had two kids already, and I had had one m/c when I was younger) and so the outlook is good. She wants me to take birth control for three months to get my cycles going and to give me some time to get to a healthier weight. I just wanted to see if anyone else has ever been recommended birth contol? Also, my doctor gave me a Dietary Modication Plan from the Davis Fertility Center. She explained to me that one of her fellow collgues swears it worked for her. If I had a scanner, I would share it with each of you as I am very excited about it. Since I do not, I will try and find time later on tonight to type it out if yall want it. Let me know :)

Thought I would add... My doctor also told me where my cervix was located (on my lower right side), do you think this info could help me concieve? Just wondering. Thanks

@carpenterswife What is the Davis Fertility plan did they put you on? Is it a diet or supplement? Can you find it online, if so let us know, I love learning new things about TTC. Oh, and no my doctor never put me on birth control first, what were you on before the birth control that was making your periods irregular?

I haven't looked at the list yet, but Imma def give it a try this week and let you know how its going...depending on the results I will continue if its positive.

@carpenterswife I was on the pill for well over 10 years...I got off it in July 2008. I got pregnant in January 2009...Only takes about 6 months to get preggo after getting off it..and that's if you've been on it as long as I was....GL and hope everything works out for you....It will! m Lots of Baby Dust your way!

@carpenterswife Hi, My Dr. put me on 3 months worth of BC pills to get my hormones in balance.After the first 3 months, I had my first "normal" period in a long time.I opted to go on with the BC pills for another 3 months, while I'm loosing weight.I have lost 57lbs so far, and I think the weight loss as well as the BC pills are getting my hormones balanced. We hope to ttc in December.Thanks for posting the diet plan, I will def chcek it out.How are you doing? Is the diet working for you so far?Thanks again,Kim
